Burger meister
Can you imagine Peter the Great with Nothing more to say?: He asks, "Anyone got anything juicy they to get out in the open?" . . . How about the best hamburger in town? That's pretty juicy. Excluding Hardee's "Thickburger" and the other food chains, I don't know. Since Murphy's morphed into the Italian Village clone Spinoni's, there is no good burger spot, except maybe Midlands Inn.
We should have a burger taste-off sometime, somewhere.
A beer taste test would be fun also. Maybe the Beer Philosopher, Peter the Great and I can launch a blog-driven Beer and Burger Bash, with burgers by all the local burger joints.... Oh, that's right, there aren't any good places to get a burger.
Although Peter dismisses fast food chains, anyone who remembers Zipp's (where Sambucca Joe's is now) will testify to the superior quality of their 1/3 lb. burger for 1.29. And the Honey Vanilla Shake, and those seasoned french fries . . . mmmmm. Zipp me.
It looks like Sambucca Joe's is under new management. Someone should suggest they specialize in making a great burger and shake.

Mary Lou's burgers are really good, especially the bacon cheeseburger. Yum! Unfortunately, I don't eat burgers anymore. :(
Hey if anyone has a burger taste-test, I wanna be a judge. I might be a Weight Watcher, but I'm the real Burger King here in Carbondale......Isn't there a song by the Commodores called Burgers are my Weakness??

Tried posting a comment yesterday, but it appears that it never made it.
I love the idea of a beer and burger tasting session. I'm in. We may have to import both the beer and the burgers, though, as Carbondale is sadly lacking in both categories.
I did have a cheeseburger at Mississippi Flyway a couple of weeks ago that was pretty doggone tasty. I'd put them toward the top of the list.
Cheers,

Okay everybody, I miss Murphy's too and have been boycotting the new place but finally decided to try it out with my family this weekend and boy am I glad I did. The place looks great, the service was excellent and the food was good. I think they made some changes because they had a cheeseburger on the menu. It was a real hand pattied burger - no frozen patties like a lot of places use. It was delicious. My wife had an Italian beef sandwich and said it was very good. I don't know that I will be a regular, but I'll go back especially for the burger.
